A compact encylopeadia of Games

This is the very best games book that I have ever come across in my 15 years working with young people and adults in a range of training and fun situations. I loaned my copy to someone and never got it back and I am desperately searching for another one. So if you get a chance - buy this book and never let it out of your sight.

This was my "brain"!

I had the responsibility of "doing" the games for our church family camp and this book was a life-saver. It is very well organized. I made up 4 x 6 cards of the games I wanted to use and took them to camp. I was embarrassed by the deluge of compliments on my "creativity".

Practical, fun, and easy to understand!

As a fourth grade teacher, youth group leader, and often the appointed "game person", this book has provided me with countless great ideas. The kids think I make up all these fun games, but the hard work and creativity deserve to go to the author of this book, Mary Hohenstein. Fun ideas. Easy to figure out. Great book!
